Zebra galloped out of New Orleans in the mid-'70s. The trio concocted their moniker from a ~Vogue magazine cover and soon won over the East Coast with expert Zep-like pomp-metal.

Vet producer Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Cheap Trick) also helmed the follow-up, No Tellin' Lies. Not as strong or cohesive as the first effort, Lies fell directly into the delete bins. No longer a novelty, leader Randy Jackson's soaring falsetto was trampled underfoot by the sudden invasion of myriad Zeppelin clones.
